she loves me but not in love with me..We have been married for 21 years 3 boyz..I was verbal abusive when I drink alcohol I no longer drink.. She's telling me she thinking divorce but wants a couple of months to thinking about it. we had a great relationship just when I drink at...

that my husband out of the clear blue wants a divorce. There's a lot of details of course that goes into my story but I'm very heartbroken and I have no one to turn to and if you want to know more about my story just ask. I'm here to meet people that are going through the same...

this sounds odd... I often feel lost because now I am on my own, as before I was used to do "couples stuff". I find myself alone and not sure sometimes, we never had kids and for that I am thankful... I have already a history posted in the affair section here in the E.P which...

Police have been fab. Still not sure if there's a case but giving a detailed statement ( took 6hrs) made me see my life through others eyes. Also they were able to challenge a lot if what he's told me for year.
I've realised several things today;
I am a victim of domestic...

potentially controversial question. And I don't intend to stir any anger but I'm human and just want to hear from someone. 6 years ago I met a guy and 5.5 yrs ago we developed feelings for each other. He is married. Fast forward to now, him and his wife do want to separate but...

I lived with a guy for 15 years and then he just left. When he told me he was going, the first thing (actually the only thing really) I asked was, why? But he wouldn't give me an answer.
We'd just bought our (supposedly) 'forever house' 18 months before. He was turning my life...

years. We have had our share of problems and things just have become too much for me. We have been going to marriage counseling to help work through our issues and were making some headway. She wanted to get a job that would be less hours and stress so there would be more time...

and drug use on his part, the constant neglect and then finally the cheating, it was time I kicked him out of the house. It wasn't good for me or our son. I miss him a lot to be quite honest, but I know it was the right decision.

Alone but happy is the only way I can describe how I feel. Even though there are many emotions that run through my mind. I know i've done the right thing. I've been living in an unhealthy marriage that just wore me down and took away who I am and I let it happen for so long. I...

Im newly separated from my wife of 4 years and not by choice. I got into a car accident and she kept the insurance money. She left me to struggle to pay for school on my own without even a way to my job. All because I told her 6 months ago that i was sick of our life and wanted...

every day life? Where and when do you cry? Have been married for 14 years together for 20 since we were teenagers. It's been bad off and on for a while. He left after I told him too because he didn't come home one night. I honestly don't want toi separate but he does. 3...

before the separation? I think my marriage is heading towards a separation but I haven't worked in about 5 years. Did anyone have difficulty going through the transition of finding childcare and getting back into the workfield?

for me. All of a sudden its my children and myself.... I never thought of myself as a single parent and I'm not complaining I love them! Its just so different day to day than with a spouse! Its an adjustment!

for 17 years. made 3 children. but how was those 17years experience I don't wanna go in details. because it's painful. finally after long bad experience we are separated. I am happy because I was in sexless marriage and I am sad because of my children. I am in restraining order...

so shocked. If you've read my posts you'll no my police officer husband assaulted me in February and my daughter saw. That was the last straw and I asked him to leave. Since I've done everything to beg him to give us another chance to the point where him going put on a date with...

and not getting to the main issue as to why our marriage failed. Yesterday, we finally spoke really spoke. It was painful hearing that your not loved and haven't been for a long time. That all that time you had spent making things right was a waste. That your only really thought...

Right now. It took me an hour to get dressed this morning. I was crying so hard. I don't know how I am going to get through another day without the only person that I have ever loved. I just do not understand what I did so horrible to deserve to hurt so damn bad. I've been...

We were on our way to celebrate our wedding anniversary with a weekend getaway that I had planned. When she told me of her decision to leave, giving me generic answers like, "I don't know what I want", "You're perfect, I'm the problem". Nothing real. The hardest part, we have...

who is just turning a year old. The separation was not my choice, but I am trying hard to accept the space we need. I never thought I'd be in this position in my life, especially after all the obstacles we've overcome, including infertility. I miss my best friend, husband, and...

accidentally "butt dialed" me and I could hear him talking to another woman...although the conversation was innocent enough when I asked him about it, he lied over and over again about it...The problem with is, 5 years ago I found out that he was having an affair. We went...

my house, I went back to get all the rest of the 15 years of accumulated stuff from my life with him. It sucked, the house we built together...the memories, all of it. I hate going back there but it was all part of the process. It's not easy, and I knew it wouldn't be. But it's...

I am hittin 37 today and today would have also been my 13 year anniversary. This is my first anniversary without her and its been tough. Honestly I am looking forward to the day ending and trying to get back to normal. I just pray for strength, courage, and hope. Best of luck to...

I spoke to a clergy member who said if perhaps I journaled that it would be helpful to me... being a guy to start off with talking about feelings is difficult... this is somewhat an extension to the original idea - perhaps something I say will have meaning for another person...

marriage, yet he spends no time, only sends money, hardly no communication, is leaving the state without me for a new job, and would rather spend time away with me than with me? So confusing. We have been separated since this past summer. Any advice? I'm so confused and is...

I finally got my divorce papers this week and I don't know how I feel about it. My ex husband cheated on me after four years of marriage and decided to tell me when I got back from my fathers funeral. I used to be very angry, but I've mellowed out with time. Now I just find that...

For 6 years of my 8 year marriage I have been uneasy about who my husband really was. Knowing down deep that something just wasn't right. FINALLY all the questions I had to ask him were answered and the truth was finally known. A recent affair and inappropriate behaviors...

I have been with my husband since I was 18, together for 20years. He had an affair last year, but we worked through it, he promised never to hurt me like that again, so many promises made, recently found out he is still cheating with the same woman. He had stopped but started...

for some advice.
I met the love of my life a little over a year ago. Her name is Joanna and she is 33 years old from Greece. She moved to America with her Step Father, Mother and Step Brother when 16. Upon arrival the step father wasn't able to provide for the family being...

change in my life. It's not something I have control over but I have the control from here on out!
I don't have much social life and that's gonna take some time to fix. But the friends I do have are there for me.
New stage in life.

for over a month now. I recently found out that she had an affair. When I caught her she denied it, threw me out of the house, asked for a separation and lied to me for over two weeks before coming clean. I was devastated but took a few days to think about the situation. For the...

My husband of 11 years told me yesterday that "it wasn't there for him anymore". He had been lying to me for months and had now found someone new that made him happy. We were married at 20 which is young I know but I always felt it was the real thing.&nbsp...

It's been a while since my last post. My wife (er ex?) and I have been ignoring the whole divorce scenario, we both know it is going to happen. As of now, being separated is the BEST thing she and I have agreed on. So nice to come home (to my apartment) stress-free, no worries...

I have no idea... the sun rises and sets and I barely notice.
We're still living in the same house and though it was my partner's decision, he hasn't changed any of his behaviour toward me, making it difficult to process.
Although I felt something wasn't right a few days...

My ex was taken away to the police for domestic abuse.I had 7 years of it.He was so controlling and manipulative.
After time in jail and on bail he was found not guilty.I cannot blame police for not doing it the job properly, but thats what happend in my case.
My ex partner had...

weekend. He's texting me from work and trying to get me to sleep in the bed with him again. I feel like I need to hurt him over and over to get him to see, what we both already agreed on.
This is so, very hard. Roller coaster of a marriage for years and now a roller coaster of...

What's so wrong with that? Honestly, I understand the meaning of marraige but when it comes down to it, do you go through life as a zombie, staying with someone because you're comfortable, or do you make a move that makes both you and potentially your wife a lot happier on the...

It's been about 45 hours since I found out. Exactly 4 days since the fuse was lit to the end of my life, as I know it.
And now, I am newly, involuntarily, separated. Homeless, family-less, just less. The best years of my life are gone. I can't get those back to spend with...
